Default 5th gear popping out

i have a jdm y1 cable tranny from my crashed crx(hasent been used for 5 months and i replaced the whole tranny casing). I also put in an obx lsd and swapped it in my car. fifth gear pops out all the time and i have to hold it in fifth all the time and my arm is getting tired.
Would it be the syncro or maybe the lsd might have something to do with it?

Most likely a synchro is the problem. I don't see how an LSD could cause this. And if somehow it was the LSD, it would be popping out off all the gears, not just 5th.

yes the tranny oil is fine, filled it till it started dripping from the fill hole. keep negative comments to yourself.
